Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mig6671/polymarket-news-monitorWhat This Skill Does
The polymarket-news-monitor is a specialized OpenClaw agent skill designed to provide real-time situational awareness regarding the Polymarket ecosystem. It functions by aggregating data from primary sources including 'The Oracle' blog, official API status pages, and polymarket.com breaking news feeds. Unlike general news aggregators, this skill employs a sophisticated importance-scoring algorithm. It scans for high-signal keywords related to security (e.g., 'hack', 'exploit', 'phishing') and operational stability (e.g., 'downtime', 'api', 'withdrawal'). Each update is assigned a numerical score, which dictates whether the agent performs a silent log, a standard notification, or triggers an immediate, critical alert. This proactive monitoring ensures users are the first to know about potential security risks or platform maintenance events without needing to manually refresh browser tabs.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Run the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mig6671/polymarket-news-monitor. After installation, ensure you have initialized your configuration file to define your notification preferences. You can run the monitor manually using python3 scripts/polymarket-monitor.py or automate it via cron jobs by adding a task to your system crontab to execute the script at your preferred interval, such as every 30 minutes.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for liquidity providers, prediction market traders, and developers who rely on Polymarket's CLOB API. Use it to automate incident response for your trading bots, track regulatory updates that could impact your positions, or simply stay informed as a passive participant. It is particularly useful for teams who need to relay status updates to Slack or other webhook-integrated platforms instantly.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, check the current status of the Polymarket API and tell me if there are any recent maintenance logs."
- "Monitor the Polymarket news feed for the next 24 hours and alert me via Slack if any 'critical' security updates are published."
- "Show me the last three major announcements from The Oracle and summarize their impact on the platform's current stability."
Tips & Limitations
To maximize the utility of this skill, configure the min_importance threshold appropriately; setting it too low may result in alert fatigue due to redundant updates. Note that this skill is a passive monitor; it can detect and report issues, but it cannot perform corrective actions on the platform itself. Always ensure your network environment allows outgoing webhook requests if you plan to use automated notifications. For advanced users, customize your local config.json to tune keyword scoring if you find the default importance levels do not align with your specific risk profile or monitoring needs.
